Italian word

direttore

director, head, manager (of a department or organisation)

Looks like

director

a member of a company's board; a film/theatre director

⚠️ The trap

'Direttore' is used broadly for any managerial head, while in English 'director' usually implies board-level seniority. A 'sales manager' in Italian is often 'direttore commerciale', which sounds more senior than the English title implies.

To say "a member of a company's board; a film/theatre director" in Italian:

direttore (manager/head); consigliere di amministrazione (board director)

"direttore" in English means:

director, head, manager (of a department or organisation)

Example

"Il direttore commerciale ha presentato i risultati trimestrali."

"The commercial director presented the quarterly results."
